  • Step 1: Walls

    Step 1: Walls

    Choose a bold shade to welcome guests into your home, and use a durable finish such as a water-based eggshell paint which can be wiped clean.

    Dark wood contrasts well with yellow paint. Choose dual-purpose pieces, such as a storage box that can be used as a seat.

  • Step 5: Accessories

    Look for unusual items with an ethnic feel, such as dark wood or metallic glazed ceramics, to add some shimmer and shine.
